Pepper chicken looks yummy Rajani!
Hi Rajani,
Pepper chicken looks great! Like all your pics.
Hi Rajani, nice blog, though i can't comment on this post being a vegan, i could say you are presenting well. The beet juice looks so nice. Viji
I have been through many food blogs and am surprised no one knows how to use a pressure cooker! When the steam is about to be released before the whistle, you are supposed to push down the weight with a spoon and lower the fire. Then cook the food as per the guidelines on time given in the manual. By letting out the steam, the whole purpose of the pressure cooker is lost! For me, cooking toor dal takes only 2 1/2 to 3 minutes after the steam builds up.

What does it mean "two whistles in a pressure cooker?" For one thing, my pressure cooker hisses, it doesn't whistle. Furthermore, it hisses continuously from the time it reaches cooking temperature until the time I turn it off. Honestly, I have no idea how to make it whistle, much less make it whistle twice.
Otherwise, it looks like an interesting recipe, if I could figure out how to cook it. I particularly like the addition of tamarind.
Hi Billy,
Cook until chicken is cooked through in the pressure cooker. Your pressure cooker seems to me different. I use prestige cooker. 10-15 mins may be or use stove top for your convenience.
cheers
